We’re Not Broke
We’re Not Broke is a mess of a documentary. I can’t figure out which one of several stories the film’s makers are trying to tell: Multinational corporations don’t pay income taxes, or; multinational corporations are corrupting politics, or; grass-roots organizations are reigning in the corruption of government by multinational corporations. I think that last one… Read.

Sleepless Night
The discussion at the office one day was what kind of action movies we liked. “I like blowing-shit-up movies,” one guy said. “I could watch shit getting blown up all day.” One gal liked action movies with lots of sex in them. One guy liked action stars that beat the crap out of everyone and… Read.

The Day He Arrives
It looks as though we’re doomed to see at least one really boring movie each day of the film festival this year, and yesterday it was The Day He Arrives. It wasn’t as bad as Keyhole, thank goodness – that’s a bar set so low that it’s going to take a limbo master of a… Read.

Scenes like this one are the reason I still love cartoons, or comics, or whatever you want to call them: I have no idea what’s supposed to be going on here, but if I ran across it, I’d try to find out. Nine times out of ten I’d probably be disappointed, but that tenth time… Read.

CAFFEINE PANIC! My Darling B drank off the last of the pot o’ java I brewed this morning and went to make more at about nine-thirty. That’s what we do on mornings we have off from work: Drink too much coffee and lay around in our pajamas until ten or eleven o’clock. So when B… Read.

Know where I am right now? I’m not at work! It’s the first day of the Wisconsin Film Festival, so My Darling B and I took today and the rest of the week off. I could have gone to work. I could have spent another day working for The Man before we went to the… Read.

Don’t know what was supposed to happen here, but the result is still my favorite gif ever! Read.
